flag A fire-damaged section of the Fernleigh Track remains closed due to unstable trees, with crews working to clear hazards.

flag A section of the Fernleigh Track between Whitebridge and Redhead remains closed for several weeks due to safety risks from weakened trees following a bushfire that burned through nearby bushland. flag Over 150 firefighters and water-bombing aircraft fought the blaze, now downgraded to "advice" by the NSW Rural Fire Service. flag While the track’s infrastructure is intact, inspections found over a dozen trees—some large eucalypts—were damaged by fire and at risk of sudden collapse, with several already fallen across the path. flag Council officials warn that internal smoldering can persist after flames are extinguished, increasing danger. flag Despite closure signs and ongoing operations, some people have ignored barriers. flag The Lake Macquarie City Council is hiring contractors to safely remove hazardous trees and restore the track as soon as possible.
